Luma presents Shikishi:
Shikishi - this Japanese drawing board is traditionally used for Shodo calligraphy or Sumi-E.
But these drawing boards have also become very popular with manga and anime artists as well as Western calligraphers and watercolour painters.
Shikishi with an integrated stand can be used as gifts, souvenirs or sales items. Collectors and fans can, for example, have autographs and drawings by a favourite artist immortalised on them. Artists have small originals with customised shikishi that they can offer for sale.
The front of the card (136 x 121 mm) is laminated with white Gasenshi paper. The pastel yellow reverse has fine, silver inclusions. The cards are edged with a 1 to 2 mm wide, elegant gold border. This emphasises the special nature and high quality of the small works of art that are created on them.
The sturdy cardboard is around 2 mm thick and extremely stable. The artwork and dedications are therefore optimally protected from tears and creases.
The paper on the front is matt and has a very light, fine line structure
In the version with stand, a foldable stand is integrated into the cardboard back panel so that the artwork can easily be placed and presented on a desk or shelf.
Gasenshi paper is acid-free and resistant to ageing.
The front of the shikishi can be painted or written on with sumi ink, China ink, liners, markers (also alcohol-based), watercolours or gouache.
INFORMATION on watercolour & markers:
The colour pigments can no longer be dissolved with water. The water-solubility is very low, which is why the shikishi are not suitable for wet techniques or watercolouring.
The reproduction and brilliance of the colours are outstanding.
Pencil can be used with a soft eraser to erase very well without leaving any residue.
